94 Points Wine Spectator
This red offers up a gorgeous display of steeped blackberry, boysenberry and plum fruit flavors that are harnessed by racy threads of chalk and a mix of mouthwatering savory and rosemary notes. Everything knits wonderfully through the finish. Well built. Best from 2024 through 2038.
93 Points Wine Advocate
Less generous than the 2018, the 2017 Cornas (tasted out of tank prior to bottling) comes across as similarly styled but perhaps a touch more austere. Cracked pepper notes join crushed stone on the nose, while the red currant fruit lines the medium to full-bodied palate.
92 Points Vinous
Inky ruby. Pungent black and blue fruits, licorice and succulent herbs on the spice-accented nose. Shows good depth and breadth on the palate, offering ripe cassis and cherry flavors that take on smoky bacon and violet pastille qualities as the wine opens up. Shows surprising energy for its heft and finishes impressively long and spicy, with dusty tannins adding firming grip.
